    I rode that old green train, slowly making my way from the seaside to the autumn of the north, where herds of cattle, sheep, and horses roamed, and beautiful girls danced with graceful abandon. A tune from the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) stirred up an indescribable longing within me; my lover and friends lived there, the most beloved people of our motherland. The autumn nights were short; passengers came and went, meeting only briefly, and I heard place names pass by. The distant, undulating mountains outside the window were the mountains that separated me from him, the mountains I longed for by the sea. Bustling villages stood beside the railway; I wondered if the railway had come first, or if the ancestors of the people had lived there for generations. The cornfields were now bare, only stalks remaining; the autumn harvest was over, and I wondered if wheat would be planted again in a few days. A light rain began to fall on the journey to a neighboring village; the signal was always bad in the tunnels, and that bowl of instant noodles I tasted kept craving more. My child, don't cry, your mother is tired too. I got off the train and went through security again with my new ticket. Don't rush, my dear, the train to your destination is here. Just make sure you don't miss it. When I walked out of the train station, my love was already waiting there; he had come especially to pick me up. I gently stroked his weathered face, feeling his rough skin, and a wave of heartache washed over me. I couldn't help but hug him tightly, tears streaming down my face and falling onto his shoulder.

    [Superpowers] + [System] + [Large-scale Ensemble] + [Grand Narrative] + [Extremely Hardcore and Unsatisfying Story] + [Humanistic Concern and Philosophical Speculation] Steel and blood are the only laws of the apocalypse. On the ruins of collapsed civilization, Lin Qingcheng grips the eyes that gaze into the abyss and the vow never to retreat. Divine power and knowledge are the glory of the beginning of an era. Deep within the glittering imperial palace, Lucius carries a bet spanning millennia and a contract unknown to anyone. When the coordinates of time tremble because of the same soul, when the embers of the apocalypse illuminate ancient emblems, conspiracies pierce through time, and schemes span millennia. In this era known as the "Fallen Gods," the last question he must answer is: Is destruction also the first heartbeat of civilization's inheritance? With its interwoven epic narratives and weighty historical outlines, I hope everyone can find the meaning of human existence in this era of fallen gods. I am the author myself, a newcomer, eighteen years old, and still in high school. This is my first book, written for myself and for all readers who feel that the apocalypse shouldn't just be about "fun." In my view, systems aren't necessarily cheat codes, and the apocalypse should have its own weight. What I want to write about is a world that needs to be slowed down and experienced, a world with things worth believing in and people who can stand firm. I believe that in this vast apocalypse, there should be a layer of humanistic concern and philosophical rigor! The creation was purely "out of interest"—like Saitama, whom I admire greatly. "I'm a hero driven by interest." "Then I'm an author driven by interest!" (How embarrassing!) Time is limited, but passion is boundless. Two months into the book, 170,000 words, I've done my best in the gaps between my weekly commute to school. If these stories happen to make you pause for a moment, then that's its greatest significance. Please, someone stay! (I'm begging you!!!)
